The NFL announced Wednesday the Miami Dolphins medical staff did not properly follow the league's concussion protocol following a hit on quarterback Matt Moore during their AFC Wild Card Round loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers on Jan. 8.
A memo from the NFL and NFLPA told the Dolphins to "engage their staff in a full review of the protocol and conduct additional education, if necessary."
The team was not issued a punishment for its violation, though the NFL announced potential fines would come into play if the Dolphins do not follow the protocol in the future.
